Chonburi Local Government

Chonburi

There is one Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organisation - CPAO (ongkan borihan suan changwat chonburi - อบจ.ชลบุรี oh bo tjo.chonburi). There are 47 municipalities, which are divided into 2 city municipalities (thesaban nakhon), 10 town municipalities (thesaban mueang) and 35 subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon). Further for the local communities, which are not connected to a thesaban, there are 50 subdistrict administrative organisations - SAO (ongkan borihan suan tambon). [1] All mayors, chiefs and councillors are directly elected by the local citizens.

[6][4] Municipalities have communities (chumchon), although not directly chosen by the local citizens, which provides advice and recommendations to local administrative organisations. They also promote and support community participation and enterprises at the district level and subdistrict villages.[3]
